A tlarmodels.com customer from Phoenix requested a 1/350 USCGC Dauntless. A 210' Reliance class cutter model.
Internet searches reveal that this vessel, in this scale, has in fact, been ignored by mainstream resin ship model makers. The pictured version is of the late fit USCGC Reliance with a stack to vent the gasses from the diesel engines HH-65A Dolphin and Mk. 38 25mm Chain gun mount.
Just to see what Mr. Baker wished for we watched Peter Benchley's 1980 film "The Island". USCGC Dauntless is featured prominently in the second half of the film. Model references are everywhere!
The only complication could be the mold box for a 7.2 inch long 1/350 Master might not fit in the current pressure pot at 9.25 inches max diameter.
Now, since almost no ship model request goes unanswered, Mr. Brandon Lowe wanted a 1/350 model of his lake/river boat. Brandon owns a 2006 Caravelle Interceptor 232. And a speedy, loud, sexy thing she is too!
